What we found

Battery models are documented as running it, from the manufacturer's own documentation, 4 of them needing more than one pack in series.
Battery models are matched as running it across several brands, by setting each maker's published figures against the other — neither names the pairing, 3 of them needing more than one pack in series.
Specifications are published for it, each with its source.
1 figure is contradicted by another credible source. Both readings are shown below, and neither is presented as the correct one.

At a glance

System voltage 36 VPeak draw 58 A115 lb thrust

That is a peak, not a continuous rating. The maker publishes no continuous draw for this — see below for what they say about it — so a pack sized on the figure above is sized for the worst moment rather than for the load it will hold.

What this device draws

Max amp draw: 60 A
Voltages it can be wired for: 12, 24 or 36 V, by the manual's own wording
Continuous draw: Not published — they give a peak and rule out using it so

What battery it needs

Whether it can run on lithium: Built for LiFePO4 — the maker's word is “optimized”
Circuit breaker it requires: 60 A, rated 24 or 36 VDC to match how it is wired
Cable gauge, by run length: Wired at 24 V: 6 AWG short, 2 AWG at 25 ft
Standards the maker asks a battery to meet: US: Coast Guard rules plus ABYC, and E-13 for lithium

Batteries documented to run this

Every row below is for this trolling motor wired at 36 V. It is also documented at 24 V, and a battery maker’s fitment rule is written per voltage. It turns on the thrust at the voltage the motor is actually wired for, and we hold one thrust figure for this trolling motor — the one at 36 V. So the other configurations are not answered here rather than answered no.

Some rows below are marked FIGURES COMPARED. On those the figures line up and neither manufacturer states that the pack runs the device — that is our reading of what each of them published separately, not a claim by either of them or a test by us. Even where every stated figure agrees, these can still decide it:

The device’s published draw is usually a peak, not the load it holds — the two numbers are not the same kind of quantity
A maker’s amp-hour minimum and their reserve-capacity minimum can give different answers about the same battery
Conditions attached to the chemistry, such as a speed limit for running on lithium
Whether the pack may be wired in series at all, where the device needs 24 or 36 volts
The charger, which both makers put conditions on and neither supplies
Case size, hold-down and terminal type — fitting the space is not being secured in it

Worth confirming with the device's manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

“This product is suitable for 12V trolling motors up to 70lb thrust; 2*identical batteries in series for 24V trolling motors up to 100lb thrust; 3*identical batteries in series for 36V trolling motors up to 120lb thrust.”

“This product is suitable for 12V trolling motors up to 70 lb thrust; 2*identical batteries in series for 24V trolling motors up to 100 lb thrust; 3*identical batteries in series for 36V trolling motors up to 120 lb thrust.”

Only within Redodo's ceiling of 120 lb of thrust for a 36 volt motor on three packs in series, and this motor's 115 lb is within it — check yours before buying.

Only wired at 36 volts, where this motor is rated 115 lb and LiTime's ceiling on three packs in series is 120 lb — check yours before buying.

Only wired at 24 volts, where this motor is rated 90 lb and LiTime's ceiling on two packs in series is 100 lb — check yours before buying.

The packs must be identical to each other — the maker's rule says so, and mixing capacities or ages in series is how one cell group ends up carrying the bank.

Minn Kota publish a maximum draw of 58 A for this motor and say it occurs only intermittently; LiTime rate this pack at 50 A continuous, 60 A for up to thirty minutes and 250 A for one second. This motor's own manual says the QUEST series is optimized for LiFePO4 cells, so the 85% speed limit its older siblings carry does not apply to it. The packs must be identical to each other, the same brand, and bought within a month of each other — LiTime will not support a string mixed from different ages or makers.

This motor's own manual says the QUEST series is optimized for LiFePO4 cells, so the 85% speed limit its older siblings carry does not apply to it. The packs must be identical to each other, the same brand, and bought within a month of each other — LiTime will not support a string mixed from different ages or makers.

Minn Kota state this 115 lb motor runs on a 24 volt system and draws up to 58 A.

Neither company has named the other, and the two figures are different kinds of number: Minn Kota's is a peak draw, Epoch's is a continuous rating.

The comparison therefore runs the cautious way round, since a pack that can supply its figure indefinitely covers a motor's worst moment; read the other way it would mean nothing.

Epoch do publish this pack in a collection titled "Lithium Batteries for Minn Kota Trolling Motors", which names the motor brand but no model.

Minn Kota state this 115 lb motor runs on a 36 volt system and draws up to 58 A.

Minn Kota publish a maximum draw of 58 A for this motor and say it occurs only intermittently; LiTime rate this pack at 50 A continuous, 60 A for up to thirty minutes and 250 A for one second.
